Woo Cleaner and Laundry in San Francisco
The Woo Cleaner and Laundry in San Francisco appears to be closed, but its GR exchange name number still shines on its window. The GR appears to stand for either the GRant or GRaystone phone exchange.

EMpire Phone Exchange, Very Faded Sign
Can you see the EMpire phone exchange in this picture? I can, but one needs to stand at just the right angle to see the old phone number lurking almost invisibly in plain sight. From across the street or from any other angle this phone number is virtually impossible to see but at this angle, and with just slight image enhancement, it becomes clear that an air conditioner company once occupied this space, and was reachable at EMpire-1-1818.
WY phone exchange, midtown.
According to the Telephone Exchange Name Project the WY exchange seen here is either a no-name exchange or else WYoming or WYandotte, the latter of which was a Bronx telephone exchange.
J De Martino Sea Food, COlumbus phone exchange
The COlumbus phone exchange can be seen on this old sign at the J. De Martino Seafood on 9th Avenue in Manhattan. How many times had I seen this sign before cracking the code and noticing that the phone number started with letters and not numbers?

TWinings.4-9228 - Laurel Manufacturing Company in Maspeth
The Laurel Manufacturing Company in Maspeth used to be reachable at its old TWinings number (TW.4-9228) but today you could try them at (718) 894-9228. The TWinings exchange was new to me when I saw it, and before looking it up I imagined it might mean a lot of things: TWinkletoes. TWister. TWiddle-dee-dee. Time-Warner.
